The World Malaria Report 2023 provides a comprehensive assessment of trends in malaria control and elimination across the globe. The report highlights the increasing burden of malaria and examines the association with the funding available for malaria interventions. The data presented in this dashboard provides insights into the total number of malaria cases and deaths by country from 2020 to 2022.
The total funding for malaria interventions for the period under review was $15,964,634,452, showing the contributions from various sources and reported by different organizations. The total number of cases across all countries for the period under review was 736,774,506, with Nigeria having the highest burden across the three years, and the total deaths was 1,849,343, also with Nigeria having the highest numbers.
These are very large numbers in terms of funding, cases identified, and deaths reported, highlighting the need for continued efforts and investments in malaria control and elimination efforts.
Spotlight on Nigeria
Nigeria makes a significant contribution to the total number of malaria cases and deaths, with 197,254,842 cases and 580,716 deaths reported from 2020 to 2022. The total funding for malaria interventions in Nigeria for the same period was $1,938,850,694.
The investments in the interventions have led to a slight reduction in malaria deaths in Nigeria over the three years with 200,154 deaths in 2020, 191,241 in 2021, and 189,321 in 2022.
However, there is still a lot to be done to reduce both incidence and mortality in Nigeria and all other countries where Malaria is endemic.

Tracking Progress and Gaps in the Global Response to Malaria
Each year, WHO’s World Malaria report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of trends in malaria control and elimination across the globe.
This presentation focuses on a subset of the report and will try to highlight the increasing burden and examine if there is any association with the funding available for malaria interventions.
